mt-daapd is a program which acts as an iTunes (DAAP) server for Linux and |
| 12 |
other POSIX unixes. It may eventually support Win32 as well. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Some random features that it supports: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
* Supports the Roku SoundBridge (query/browse/index support) |
| 17 |
* Supports periodic rescans of the database |
| 18 |
* Can advertise shoutcast streams |
| 19 |
* Supports password-protected shares |
| 20 |
* Is web-configurable and managable |
| 21 |
* Support dynamic playlists, like iTunes "Smart playlists" |
| 22 |
* Probably other things I've forgotten |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
All is not perfect, however. Currently, there are several drawbacks to it: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* database is indexed by inode, so all music must be on one filesystem |
| 27 |
* browse by artist is slow on Roku, times out (with large databases ~10K songs) |
| 28 |
* Probably other things I've forgotten |
